Can anyone help? There's this computer game I'm trying to remember the name of...
If I recall, there's a free flash or shockwave version of it online. The goal was to build and upgrade spaceships and conquer other planets, kind of like Risk in space. If a planet wasn't hospitable enough to support much life you could terraform it, and the combat wasn't any more sophisticated than pointing and clicking. It's not very advanced but I'm trying to remember the name of it, like Space Conquest or something.

Anyone remember? :shrug:

3. No, not Starcraft. I have that. This game is simpler than Starcraft.
As I said, it's like Risk, only with planets instead of countries, with a little bit of sci-fi thrown in. The ships all look the same, except they change color when you upgrade them.
